Every Inchie Monday: Time

This week at Every Inchie Monday the theme is time. The first thing I thought of was the saying "Time flies when your having fun." I took it literally and made a clock with wings! It's also the last Inchie of the year. I had a great time making an inchie every week and seeing everyone's different interpretations. But I don't think I'm going to join in next year. I might make the odd one and I will probably check in time to time to see all of the beautiful creations. I wish everybody the best in the new year!

At Every Inchie Monday this week the theme was joy. The first thing I thought of was the Christmas song "Joy To The World". So that is what I put on my inchie, you might not be able to read it though because it didn't turn out on the printer. I hope you have a great week!

At Every Inchie Monday this week the topic is, found. I did a magnify glass. I took the Cinderella story (as you may be able to tell) and made the font bigger on that one part. I then found a clear piece of plastic that is sticky on one side to put over the big font. I hope you have a great week!

Every Inchie Monday: Jacket

This week for Every Inchie Monday the theme is jacket. Of course the first thing I thought of was a jacket you wear but the second thing I thought of was a yellow jacket, a type of wasp. I drew the wasp over top of a honeycomb pattern and then I put glitter on the edges.

Every Inchie Monday: Bag

This week at Every Inchie Monday the topic is bag. I wanted to think out side of the box so I thought of the Hobbit. I wasn't a big fan of the book but I thought the movie was pretty good, that's the only time I ever thought a movie was better than the book. The hobbit lives in bag-end so I decided to draw the hobbit hole that is in bag-end. I hope you have a great week!

Every Inchie Monday: Road

Well, last weeks Every Inchie Monday's topic was car so it only makes sense that this weeks topic is road! I wanted to make my road look like it was going off into the distance as though you were actually on it. It looks like a road on a bridge the way that I painted it. The whites in the sky are suppose to be clouds. Have a great week!

Every Inchie Monady: Night Watchman

Hmm, this subject was really tricky. It took me a while to finally come up with a good idea. What do all night watchman have to have? A flashlight! How else are they able to see at night? So that is what I drew. I painted the background black to represent night and I tried to splatter yellow to represent stars, but the splattering didn't turn out to well. In the corner I added the dog barking because guards usually have dogs to help them. See other interpretations of "Night Watchman" at Every Inchie Monday. I hope you have a great day!

Every Inchie Monday: Song

For this week I wanted to make something that is a big part in a song and that is an instrument! I chose a trumpet because it's one of the easier instruments to draw. I have played a trumpet before and it is very hard even though there are only 3 buttons, but then again I am not a very musical person!

Every Inchie Monday: Pocket Watch

At Every inchie Monday this week we had to represent "pocket watch". I have never owned a pocket watch before so it was a bit tricky to make. It was very hard to write on the Roman numerals on such a small scale, that's why it looks a bit messy. In hindsight I should have just done normal numbers. I hope you have a great week!


Monday 12 August 2013

Every Inchie Monday: Grey

This week at Every inchie Monday we had to represent "grey". There are so many things that are grey, but I decided to show smoke. I hope you have a great week!

Bookmarks

I hope everybody is having a great week! I can't believe that tomorrow is the first of August, where has the time gone?! For these book marks I used cardboard cut out of cereal boxes, I am always thinking about the environment and recycling! I then covered the cardboard with the paper that I decorated. I couldn't decorated them too much because then they wouldn't sit in a book properly, so that was a challenge!

 It's kind of hard to see the sayings but the first one says, "It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light." and the second one says, "Fairy tales are more than true not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten." I think these quotes are very inspiring and perfect for a bookmark!

Every Inchie Monday: Wild

I think the topic this week was a pretty easy one because there were so many things you could represent that are wild. The first thing I thought of was the wild west with cowboys on horses and stuff like that. I'm not really a fan of those kinds of movies though. This is of the desert with the sun rising/setting behind it with a cactus in the background. I hope you have a great day!
